Help Wanted !!!!!

Is your student doing something you want to share with the world? (or at least with our class?) Is your Learning Coach working hard to help you learn?

Please send any pictures, stories of exciting news and/ or hard work that you want to share with the class. This can be school and non school related. It can be as big as landing a part in a local play, to finally writing you numbers in the right direction.

Let’s celebrate it all TOGETHER!!!

Woot Woot!
